trials OF lunacy. As the law says that
there shall be a physician upon the jury,

the court adjourned and the girl, who was
certainly crazy, was carried back to her
home

cision sustained the demurrer.

A New Millionaire.

Mr.. George s. DeGarmo, of the
Brunswick Hall, yesterday received
information from his brother in Ken
lucky that discovery had been made
that his deceased father, who was
killed in steamboat disaster fifteen
years ago and left no will was the
owner of $4,000 acres of land at
Chattanooga, Tenn, part of the land
within the city limits, and that Geo.
S. DeGarmo, his mother and brother,
are the only heirs. The value of the
property is not yet ascertained, but is
supposed to contain some of the large
iron and coal veins that abound in
that region. Should these SUPPOSE
tions prove true, George is million
aire. He has sent the necessary doc
uments to a lawyer in Chattanooga to
have the property properly disposed of
according to law. George bears his
honors meekly, but feels very COM
Portable.

A GUNSHOT WOUND
Three Years Ago Causes the Death
of Chas. j. Clifford.

On Tuesday afternoon there were
rumors that a murder had been com
mitted at Kent Station on the other side
of Newhall, and this rumor was given
the color of truth from the fact that
Coroner Meredith went in that direc-
ton in the afternoon train. He re-
turned last night, and reported that
the cause of the rumors was the sud-
den death of Chas. J. Clifford at Mint
Canon from the effect of gunshot
wound received some three years ago.
Deceased had been ailing some days
but died suddenly, and the jury
found verdict in accordance with
the facts. Clifford, when alive,
stated that the wound had been re-
ceived in this city at the hands of foot
pads some three years ago, who shot
him because he would not obey their
commands. He also stated that the
footpads had been sent to State Prison
for the offense. If it were possible to
ascertain the truth of the story the
men might be brought back and tried
on charge of murder.

DAILY HERALD.
SALVATIONISTS.
Eight of the Army are i'm the
County Jail.

County Jail.
The Salvation Armyists are having
a hard time, and their treatment ex-
emplifies the saying, "The way of the
sinner is hard" Their reception in
this city and elsewhere is due to their
own foolishness, but the peaceful citi-
zens of this metropolis do not intend
to permit the disgraceful marches
which have disturbed the streets for
some time past. Yesterday afternoon
four of the leaders were arrested and
taken before Justice Taney, on a
charge of disturbing the peace. Their
bail was fixed at $25 each, but they
preferred to remain in the County Jail
until the trial on next Wednesday.
Their manner i'm the Court was indie
ative of a weakness of intellect, and
they seem to regard punishment for
offences in the light of martyrs, and
seem to think they have right to dis
turb the peace of the community at
large. They were incarcerated in the
County Jail, and, in consequence,
there was no parade last night.
Their treatment at Pomona has not
been any better than here.
On Tuesday night they paraded at
that place and passed house where
a man was watering his garden.
That man turned the hose ON them
and quite a crowd collected one OF
whom objected and the hose was
turned on him. He in turn had the
man arrested and summoned the
Army as witnesses. One of the army
disobeying the order of the Court
started for this city but was arrested
on the train by Deputy Constable
Freeman of that place, who took his
prisoner back on the return train.
Another account of the affair is to the
effect that the red-shirted man was
wanted on charge of disturbing the
peace.
Last night four more of the Army
here were arrested and landed in the
county Jail and if this keeps up there
will be night of quiet in the city for
a time at least.

Future weather..

Prof. G. G. Blake, the mathematical
calculator of the weather, of Richland,
Kansas, thus hits off the weather for
the next nine months in his almanac
for 1887 and 1888, published before the
great drought in the corn region of the
West: Frosts in August and Septem-
ber will occur this year after an
ordinary summer of frequent rains
and short spells of drouth, which will
be more than ordinarily felt on ac-
count OF the previous dryness of the
soil. The latter part of August and
much OF September will contain cool
spells in which the nights will be
quite cool and delay the ripening of
the corn. In September there will be
two or three spells when the tempera-
ture will be down to about the frost
line. In localities where the weather
may be still and clear the frosts will
be so heavy as to kill the corn over
large tracts.
The Professor says: 1t was on ac-
count of these expected patches of
frost that induced us in the almanac
published last November, and in The
Future published in March and April,
to advise farmers in the north to plant
corn early SO that it would mature
early before the September frosts.
About the middle of December winter
will set in in earnest, and the cold will
extend further south than last year.
The winter of 1887 and 1888 will long
be remembered throughout the north
ern two-thirds of the United States as
one of extreme cold. The winter will
continue severe till March when it
will break up with storms of wind
and snow in the north. April, 1883,
will be cold, stormy and wet.
In January and February, 1888,
there will be no general thaw, but
spurts of rain and partial thaws. We
have had five consecutive cold win
ters, and many people think it is time
to have mild one, but the causes
which produce mild winters do not
now exist; but, on the contrary, the
cosmical causes which control
the general nature of the win
ter in the northern hemi-
sphere are now such that next winter
must be very cold. Some people sup
pose that cosmical causes aside from
the sun have nothing to do with the
weather. Such people do not prop
erly weigh the evidence. The winter
of 1877 and 1873 was very warm, and
except few short spells there was no
cold weather in the United States.
This was predicted in the almanac
published in March, 1877, as was also
the drouths OF 1881 and 1886. In
California the rainfall will be normal
in the northern part and light in the
southern portion"
For several years Prof. Blake has
been remarkably accurate in his cal
\ culations which are founded on the
electric energy of the planets on the
lectric forces of the earth. The loca-
ton of the planets as regards the
earth can be well illustrated by a
planetarium, and their future situa-
tions can be calculated by long and
laborious calculations. By these cal
culations the weather can be predicted
hundred years hence as well as one
year hence. The readers of the
HERALD will watch with much interest
the predictions of Prof. Blake.
